How to find a knowledgeable agent to sell my occupied investment property

[Lauren Cartmell]

Hi everyone - I have a fully occupied duplex that I am looking to sell in the heart of Dallas, Texas. One side has a tenant lease that expires JAN 2026, and the other has a lease that expires AUG 2025. Fantastic tenants and the home brings in solid revenue. But, we now live across the country and managing from this far just doesn't make sense for us anymore so we are ready to sell. We need to find a realtor who is able to connect us with other investors looking to take on a fully occupied property and I would like to list quietly to avoid disturbing the tenants. Any suggestions?

@Lauren Cartmell 95%+ of agents only know how to do owner-occupied transcations:(

So, be careful.

Adding to the advice already shared, an experienced investor agent will know that there will be no showings without an accepted offer - to avoid pissing off your tenants with constant showings. Even open houses on occupied rentals are a bad idea.

If you want the highest sales price possible, you will have to list it on the MLS.
